Nautilus
Original Oil Painting

It’s almost finished! I’m putting the final touches and painting the edges now. I should be finished with it this weekend! (I’m so in love with this painting!) Can I tell you how happy I am to be painting again? I’ve painted more this year than in the past 5 years put together. I love it.

There are still more paintings I’m working on (and a few commissioned pieces I have yet to start–no, John, I haven’t forgotten about your painting!!) I’m starting to run out of room to hang them… I was thinking of having/hosting an open house or “trunk show” sort of thing and having everyone I know come by and buy stuff right off my walls (if they were so inclined.) How fun would that be! I think I’ll do it next spring. This will give me time to 1.)make MORE and 2.)do some major cleaning. Or, maybe I can find someone’s garage to “rent” and throw a little backyard bbq as well… hmmmm… still need to plan that. If you have some ideas, I’d LOVE to hear them!!!
